A BLESSING
For some, death comes as a blessing. When disease has ravaged the body to the point where it can scarcely be recognized as a useful vessel in which to inhabit the earth, death may come as a liberating force. And, when death releases those whom we love, it helps us to accept the transition and to live in the comfort of knowing that pain and hopelessness no longer prevail. In these ways, death can be a comfort to both the living and the dead. In the words of Charles Caleb Colton, "Death is the liberator of him whom freedom cannot release, the physician of him whom medicine cannot cure, the comforter of him whom time cannot console."
For some left behind, the relief felt after the death of a loved one who has endured a struggle can induce guilt, yet death can offer a certain sweetness when it ends suffering, and the relief can be something we can be grateful for. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we're here to tell your that, in the midst of what can be an overwhelming time, you are not alone. Call 347-3431 (233 Broadview Avenue) 24 hours a day.
"Time is a system of folds which only death can unfold. "
~ Jean Cocteau
